FOREWORD
In the beginning, the present work was intended to comprise only that particular branch of the Harding family to which the compiler's family belonged. This attitude seemed selfish, as it would include but one family of the Revolutionary War ancestor, and would not prove of material help to the other descendants of Samuel and Love (Mayhew) Harding in joining the patrioti:c societies. It would also cut them off from their genealogy and "proof of their descent from the immortal Puritans". There were fourteen children in the family of Samuel and Love (Mayhew) Harding. Thirteen of them lived to grow up, marry and be blessed with children. There may be omissions of names and dates, but remember the vast number of branches which have sprung up from our fa.illy tree. The living members of the family will need to supply omissions and correct errors. To quote the words of the venerable author of the original work who recognized the imperfections of the records:
11 To render aid the reader must banish mental laziness, prefer a work of love to cavils at imperfections, write plain and look for his reward in the acknowledgment and recollection of his service, and in the gratitude of posterity" --
The compiler of 11 Our Harding Family" has tried in every way to obtain the records. If anyone of the family is left out of the Genealogy, it is not her fault. Do not let any of the descendants reproach the compiler, or say "I belong to that family, why is my record not a part of it?"
2 ORIGIN OF NAME
Hardin is doubtless a Gothic word, as it is found in all the dialects of the Goths. The name was found very early in Europe; it existed in Germany, Scandinavia, and Britain prior to the establishment of the fuedal system, and for many centuries before the adoption of surnames and the formations of dialects in Northern Europe.
The Gothic tribes and especially the Saxons, seem to have delighted in the word, as though it had been their sobriquet of some successor of Wodin, or son of Thor, or significant of such martial qualities as they most admired. Perhaps commemorative of some historical event in which they gloried. For between the settlement of Hengist and Horsa in England A.D, 450 and the Norman Conquest, the name has been given to seven localities in Central &A'"ld Southern Britain.
By 1086, when the Doomsday Book was written, Hardin had become common as a family n~e, and is recorqed in the Latin of the :period as Hardinus, Hardine, Hardineus and Hardingus. In the eleventh century coats of arms were given to men of that name.
In French, "hardi" derived probably from the Normans, signifies bold, courageous, daring, and stout-hearted.
3 HARDING COAT OF ARMS The argent or silver shield signifies a clear conscience, and fame acquired through loyal service to his country. The bend is a decoration of honor, a scarf or shoulder belt -- meaning protection or defense of the country. It also represents justice -- being blue -- the color of loyalty, "true blue" tells of the Hardings' faithfulness. The Martlett is a swallow without legs., always on the wing, with merit to raise themselves. The Falcon is emblem of vigilence, eager and powerful in pursuit. Hardings evidently performed worthy exploits.
4 HARDING PIONEERS IN AMERICA
From 11 The ,iardings in America", Wilber J .. Harding.
Captain Sir Robert Gorges, a son of Sir Ferdinando, for his 'Valiant services to the Crown during the Venetian Wars, was in 1623 appointed by the Council of New England "Governor of the Plymouth Countryn. Sir Ferdinando was styled the 'father of colonization in America' and received from the king a charter which constituted him a proprietor of Maine. Captain Gorges was given a grant of land on Massachusetts Bay. The wife of Captain Gorges was Mary Harding, the daughter and heir of William Harding, Gent. Soon after his official appointment, Governor Gorges, with his wife and 'sundrie passengers and their families' started for the new world. In the list of passeilf~rs, accompanying Mary (Harding) Gorges and the Goverior, we find the names of John Harding, wife, and young sons, Joseph Harding, and Richard Harding and wife and infant son. Indications point that they were three brothers, and cousins of Lady Gorges. From the very earliest times there has been a tradition in the family of 1 three immigrant brothers who came to America at about the time of the Pilgrim Fathers' • This tradi tion has been investigated and accepted as a matter of history and fact. The History of the Harding family in America is a history of the pioneers. Among the first settlers in any part of the country there has bee11 a Harding. Original settlers of Braintree, Massachusetts, of parts of Rhode Island, then to Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, and even farther west, to Minnesota have they traveled for a Homestead Claim. Their right as settlers they have contested against all obstacles, for a peaceful settlement. Of the three immigrant brothers, Richard, Joseph and John Harding, Richard was the eldest. It is from Richard's line that warren G. Harding, President of the United States, came. The line direct is from John Harding, the head, born in 1567, died in 1637. In the Will of John Harding I, he granted Real Estate to his brother William, generally supposed to be the father of Mary Harding Gorges, and money and personal property to his sons, six in number, of whom three had migrated to America. The first settlement in the New World was at Weymouth, the ancient Wessagusset of the Gorges party. The Hardings were 1Mariners engaged in the fisheries', Richard, John II, and Joseph. 'Ihe Joseph Line, The First Generation in America
Our Harding Family came from the Joseph Harding line. His name appears in the records as Joseph Harding of Braintree, Massachusetts. JOSEPH HARDING married MARTHE DOANE of Plymouth in 1624, He had abandoned the Governor Gorges party and removed to Plymouth, Joseph and Martha (Doane) Harding had two sons: 1. John Harding born in 1625; 2. Joseph Harding, Jr. born in 1629; s JOSEPH I, the father, died in 1630; Martha, the mother, died in 1633. Martha connnitted her sons to the care of her brother, John Doane. John and Joseph, Jr. Ha~g completed their minority with their uncle, John Doane in Duxbury-and Eastham, then returned to Braintree to occupy their patri monial estate, of which neither the ignoring of their claims by Governor Gorges, nor the grant of Braintree to Boston, and the assignment of Brain tree's lands to others had deprived them.
Second Generation in America -
John Harding, son of Joseph and Martha (Doane) Harding, married Hurst ----- Children: l. Sarah Harding married John Tower 2. John Harding Jr. who removed to Bridgewater about 1707, mar. Hannah.
JOSEPH HARDING II, son of Joseph and Martha (Doane) Harding, married Bethia Cook April 4, 1660, Beth:is.was the daughter of Josias and Elizabeth (Ring) Cook of Eastham, formerly of Plymouth, and one of the grantees of Little Compton. Joseph II was early admitted a citizen of Eastham, and there his 10 children were born.
In 18621 700 descendants of the two brothers had been I.definitely traced, the greater portion of them from Joseph II and Bethia Harding.

9 ARMS OF MAYOW OF DINTON, WILTSmRE. Argent, on a chevron sable between three birds [sea mews?] of the last five lozenges of the first. (Be"y's Dictionary, Papworth and Morant's Didicrr.,a.ry, end Bur.l:e's Armory.)
ABMS OF MAYHEW OF DINTON Argent on a chevron sable between three birds (sea mews) of the last, five lozenges of the firsto Ref: Bar.ks History of Martha's Vineyard, Vol. 1, page 130. Shield argent, or silver, made of pearls when the arms are formed of jewels. This means that the Mayhew (Mayou), first bearer of the Arms, was a man of immaculate honor, a messenger of peace, studious and retiring. The chevron, like a roof, means that he protected his country. Black signifies that he did this with secrecy and great discretion, The birds are emblematic of mind or intellect, and of messengers eluding and beguiling the foe. The lozenges indicate marriage with a noble and wealthy woman, or descent on the maternal side from some titled house. Ref. also, Berry's Dictionary, Papworth and Morant's Diet., and Burke's Armory.
10 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE MAYHF.W FAMILY From C. E. Banks History of Martha's Vineyard The name of Mayhew, as an English family name, is spelt in many ways, varying from Mayhowe to Mao. By the divers:li.ty and variety of the name the identity of Mayhew and Mao is taught. From this consideration a ray of light is thrown upon the derivation of the name. One early occurrence of the name is found in Glover's Roll of Arms to date between 1245 and 1250. Herbert le Fitz Jvlathewe is there mentioned. The same Roll of Arms gives the clue to the origin of the name as a Christian name. Bardslay, in his "English Surnames" mentions instances of the name.
Shakespeare, in 11 King Lear" Act III, scane 4, says: "The Prince of Darkness is a gentleman Modo he's called and Mahu. 11 One, John Mayow, was Fellow of All Souls, Oxford. Richard Mayo became Chancellor of Oxford in 1503, and Bishop of Hereford in 1504. He died in 1516. In the records of the Commissioners for the United Colonies, there appeared a letter, now in the Connecticut Archives, written by Governor Mayhew, sealed with Arms, which, upon e:ramination, proved to be the Arms, with a mullet for difference, of the Mayhew family of Dinton, Wiltshire, a county family of considerable distinctione These facts, talcen in connection with the bestowal by ivia.yhew of the names of Tinsbury and Chilmark on two adjoining towns on Martha's Vineyard, (the latter settlement having been originally chartered as Tisbury Manor), and the fact that Tisbury and Chilmark are adjoining parishes in Wiltshire, and separated by a few miles only from Dinton, made it quite evident that this locality was the one which should reveal his family connection.

Fifth II Thomas Mayhew (Tradition)---- Abigal Farkus-Jane Paine bapo l Apr. 1593 gives first wife, second wife
Sixth II Thomas Viayhew Jr., son of first wife.
ll Thomas Meyhew in Massachusetts "The richest Jems and gainful things most Merchants wisely venter: Deride not then New England Men., this Corporation enter: Christ call for trade shall never fade, come Craddock factors send: Let Mayhew go another move, spare not thy coyne to spend. Such Trades advance and never chance in all their Trading yet: Though some deride they lose, abide, here-ti's gain beyond man's wito Johnson, Wonder-Working Providence (1654) Thomas Mayhew was twenty-one years of age when his father died. This event placed upon him the necessity of individual responsibility. He became a merchant. He was bred in England, probably Southamptone This seaport was at that time an important commercial center in England and with Bristol ranked secondary to the great port of London. As a merchant of a maritime port Mayhew became interested in foreign trade and in the colonization ventures. Mr., Matthew Craddock was among the great merchants of London and he became an early adventurer in this line of business, and was among the first to support the companies engaged in the colonization of New England. As a suburban merchant Mayhew often went to London. He became well known to Craddock and the business relations of later years were laid. Tradition says Matthew married about 1619 Abigail Farkus, probably a daughter of the Parkhirst family, of which George Parkhurst was the first New England representative, and who settled i.~ Watertown, Massachusetts. Thomas Mayhew Jr. was the only knm-m child of this early marriage. He was christened by the name of his father. It is not known when nor where his mother died. The Massachusetts Bay Company in 1626 were actively promoting their new settlements at Salem and vicinity, and sending supplies thither. Their records at this time contained the following entry: 16 ifarch 1628 Bespoke of Maro at lo½ p yrd for beds and boulsters 20 bed tikes, Scotch ticking 3/4 broad and 2-1/16 long & 1½ yrd wide; 11 yrds each bed and boulster. Hass. Col. Rec. I; 35, The sketch continues: In two years more Mayhew had determined to follow to New England the 11 beds and boulsters11 and "bed tikes 11 he had sold to the emigrants for the latest English colony. It was then Matthew Craddock made arrangements with Thomas Mayhew to go to New England and act as his representative in business matters and person ally oversee his great interests in the Colonies. Mayhew made his headquarters at Medford occupying the 11 Greate Stone House" which had been built for Craddock. Contemporaneous records place the year of Mayhew 1 s emigration as 1631., the earliest record of Mayhew found in this country. It is supposed he took with him his wife and young son., though she may have died before his emigration. Thomas Mayhew devoted the next three years to the services of his em ployer, attending to his investments and managing his maritime and mercan tile interests in the colony. On Hay 16., 16.34, Mayhew had evidently decided to "cast his fortunes" with the new country., and on this date was admitted as a freeman by the General Courtc He was very actively identified with the political abd business life of the colony. He served on many committees., occupied various offices, was Representative to the General Court. 12 About this time Thomas Mayhew contracted a second marriage. It is claimed the marriage occurred in London., probably Mayhew had returned to England for business, and while there found a new wife. 'lhis second wife was Jane, the widow of Thomas Paine., her maiden name, family tradition gives., was Jane Gallion, Thomas and Jane (Gallion) Paine had two children., Thomas Jr., and Jane. Both were minors when their father died. Jane was the elder. Thomas Paine left considerable estate in England for his children. In the New England home Jane Paine found a big step-brother, at that time about fifteen years of age, She was probably five or six years old. In Nedford.1 Mass. two daughters, Hannah and Bethia, were born to Thomas Mayhew Sr. and his second wife. Craddock, hard to suit, sent a new factor to New England to look after his interests. This terminated the business relations between Mayhew and Craddock; this was about 1637. Mayhew then removed to Watertown. Here he was also actively identified with the town and its affairs, he was chosen Selectman, and elected as Deputy to the General Court to represent his new home town in the Cononial Assembly. A third daughter was born., Martha by name. In 16.39 or 40 came a fourth and last daughter, Mary., born January 14. Due to the scarcity of money, Mayhew had difficulties. In the midst of them came the great event which changed his future life; he had the oppor tunity to acquire the title and sovereignty of Martha's Vineyard, While in Boston on business, Thomas :Mayhew met James Forrett, agent of the Earl of Stirling of Scotland. Forrett was encouraging migration for the colonizing of the unsettled Islands of Nantucket and Martin1 s or Martha's Vineyard. Mayhew., then in his 50th yearj accepted this as an opportunity of restoring his f ortu.nes, and determined to purchase these Islands and start a new home., perhaps found a new Colony. For the Islands were situated without the lawful bounds of the territory of Massachusetts Bay. Unforeseen objections arose. These Islands were also claimed by Richard Vynes., steward toFerdynando Gorges. The controversy was settled by Thomas Mayhew entering first into an agreement for the purchase of Nantucket, and second for the purchase of the Vineyard and the Elizabeth Isles. Then Thomas Mayhew secured the rights as well from the Gorges interests, which authorized the aforesaid Mayhew to "plant and inhabit". Thomas Mayhew now had three documents, one from Ferrett, the agent of Lord Stirling, one from Richard Vynes., the steward of Ferdynando Gorges, also the Rights from the Gorges interests, According to Mayhew1s view, however, there was still another party to satisfy., the aboriginal owners, the Indians. It is presumed that before Dec. l, 1642, Thomas Mayhew Sr. ma.de his first visit to the Islands, together with his son, and possibly others interested in the new territory and on this visit secured the required release. Thomas Mayhew Sr. did not come to settle on the Island until 1646. Instead, the father turned over this venture to his son, as one of the patent ees. Thomas Mayhew Jr. was then about 24 years of age. He was the local Governor of the new settlement until his father came. It was a hazardous and lonesome task for Thomas Mayhew Jr. with his few pioneers cut off from communication with the distant settlers on the main land. At this period there were probably not less than .3.,000 Indians on the Islands., and it is doubtful if there were three dozen whites at the new settlement., and for ten years, too; following its purchase. 13 It was a delicate situation. The Indians of Noepe--the Indian name of ¥iartha 1s Vineyard--were very savage. However, the peacable intentions of the English were in time made clear to the suspicious, and under the leader ship and influence of the high-minded youth, who came ready to be their be:mefactor, the natives ceased to be a menace, and always the two races lived in unusual harmony. In 1646 the elder Thomas came with his family, with them, of course, were the step-daughter, and step-son, Jane and Thomas Paine .. In 1647 Thomas Mayhe~ Jr~ and the step-daughter, Jane Paine, were married. The life of Rev,. Thomas Mayhew Jr., during his residence of fifteen years on the Island of Martha 1 s Vineyard, is interwoven with the story of the Indian Missions., He gave no time to other pursuits, and rarely left the Island on secular business_, His father said of him, "The work was followed by him when 'twas bare with him for foode and rayment, and then indeede there was nothine in sight arry waies but God's promises." Thomas Mayhew Jrc had six children, Matthew, born in 1648., was the oldest, and John, born in 1651-2 was the youngest son and became a preacher to the Indians. Right here is a good place to mention that the Sacerdotal order continued unbroken upwards of 160 years. Adding to the first three already mentioned, John's son, Experience is the fourth, Experience son, Jonathan, the fifth, and Jonathan's brother, Zachariah~ When matters connected with the patrimony of his wife's brother, or the Paine estate in England demanded attention, it was considered necessary that Thomas Naj'hew Jr. and Thomas Paine should go to Engla."ld and settle the affairs perrranently. Rev. Mayhew decided to combine this personal business with his own public labors, to give an account of the state of the Indians, and to advance by the most proper measures religion among them. To do this he decided to take with him one of the converts as a. living eVidence of the power of the Gospel of Christ. Thomas Mayhew' s absence was mourned in advance by his Indian congrega tions.. He arranged a farewell meeting of his faithful followers. The legend is that he went to the most distant assembly of them where he held a. service of worship &id song, and gave them a parting injunction to be stead fast in his absence., His journe:, toward the east end of the Island became almost a triurrphal processiono '.:'he Indians refused to consider this as a farewell and followed him homeward till he came to a spot on the 11 01d Mill Path", since known in song md story as the "Place on the Wayside" where hllitdreds of others were gathered. A great combined service was held and the simple children of this flock heard their beloved sterherd give a blessing to them, and say the last sad farewells to them individually and as a congregation. It was a solemn occasion, long held in mam.o::y by all who participated. Thomas Mayhew and his two companions departed from Boston for London in a ship, James Garrett, Master. Two ships sailed at the same time, John Pierce, Master of the other.. ':'he John Pierce ship reached her destination in safety; it was never known what disaster overtook the James Garrett ship. When this ship cleared the white receding shores of Cape Cod, in her outward voyage, and headed for the green pastures of Old England, it was the last seen of her, and of her distinguished passengers. Weeks and months passed by without tidings of Naster Garrett; first came hope, then fear, then despair. The np1ace on the wayside where Rev., Thomas Mayhew solemnly and affect ionately took his leav'..:; of his Indians., became a hallowed spot. It is !'.:. part of the legendary lore of this spot that no Indian passed by it without 14 casting a stone into a heap there. This heap of stones grew to be a cairn, a great monument in remembrance of their absent leader. This cairn is one of the historic places on the Island, and has been suitably made a permanent memorial by the Martha's Vineyard Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Edgartown, who on July 27, 1901 dedicated a bronze tablet, set in a large boulder and placed on top of the stone pile~ The inscription on the tablet reads:

Tablet Purchased ·with Contributions From Mayhew 1 s Descendants. Thomas Mayhew Sr. became supe:-visor of the work of converting the Indians when his son left for England. When no tidings ever came of the ship, then it w:,s that the father, the Governor, at the age of seventy, determined to ta!{e :l.is son's place and bravely began the study of the native language. Heroes are not all young men, although many begin very early to be heroic. This staur1ch missio:1ary began preaching at the different plantations week by '\-:eek in turn, sometimes walking twenty miles through the woods to meet his Indian congregation. The first Indian Church was organized in 1670, with a native pastorG There were then about three thousand native Christians upon the Islando
Mr. Mayhew kept on with his missionary work until he died in his ninety-third year, an unremitting worker., and a wonderful record. His grandsonJ John, became associated with the work and was active in it until he died in 1688. Then his son, Experience, took it up and continued in it for thirty-two ye&.:-:-s o In 1799 he translated the Psalms and John's Gospel 'l'wo more mentioned. elsewhere;; Jonathan., and Zachariah, a family tor--: 15 rroud of, and the family from which Love Mayhew, the wife of Samuel Harding, ca.me .. For thirty years Thomas Mayhew had been responsible to none in his governing the Islands, the title for which he had derived from Lord Stirling and Sir Ferdynando Gorges. When he procured this title these Islands were without the bounds of Massachusetts Bay. Now Patents or Claims were shown to include all Islands, with the exception of Block Island, from Cape Cod to Cape May. Geography was little known in those days and a Claim was almost as good as a Patenta As controversies arose Thomas Mayhew was "desired to bring" his Patents, Writings, and Other Papers to an interview with Governor Lovelace at the Co:n.ference held at Fort James, N. Y. in 1671. The most important business 1-:as concluded, and is best told in the records of that session of the Council: ''Whereas, Mr. Thomas Mayhew of Martin, or Martha's Vineyard, hath been an ancient inhabitant there where by God's blessing he hath been an instrument of doeing a great deale of good both in settling several plantacons there as also in reclayming and civilizing the Indians: for an Encouragement to him L1 the prosecution of that Designe and acknowledg•t of his good Services: it is ordered and agreed upon that the said llJ.r.

Daly, died of a heart attack at his home, 1170 Fifth Ave 0, New York City, Dec. 4, 1936. (From the Herald Tribune). 45 Mr. Daly was well known as a condnctor, a critic, a composer, a finder of talent and, less recently, as an editoro At twenty-four he was managing editor of "Everybody's Magazine". At that time he had already given up music to study at i:iarvard, had tried his hand at trucking freight for a railroad in Arkansaso At twenty-five Ignace Jan Paderewski prevailed upon him to return to music and in the years that followed Mro Daly became an associate of George Gershwin, the composer, who was a song•plugger when Mro Daly met him and rose to an almost indisp2nsable position on musical Broadway .. Mr. Daly was born in Cincinnati. His father, Capts Bill Daly, two uncles, Bob and Dan Daly, and two aunts, Lucille and Margaret Daly, were all known on the stage. Dan Daly remained on the stage longer than other mem bers of the family, and became a famous comedian. Lucille and Margaret Daly married Hap Ward and Harry Vokes, nationally known comedy team of the day.

At Harvard he was active in student activities and was a member of the track team. When he received his bachelor's degre0 i.~ music in 1908 he vowed that he would never take another music lessonc As far as could be laarned., he never did. From College he went west and started trucking freightc 1fuen this bec~ue distasteful to him he came to }Je·w· York a.TJ.d in 1909, through the late Lincoln Steffens, obtained a position on the editor ial staff of 11Everybody 1 s hagazine 11 • In his naw job he shared an office with Walter Lippman, columnist and writer, who was then writing for 11 Every body1s11o Two years later, at twenty-four, :Hr.

While editing 11 Everybody's 11 , Mr. Daly encouraged such writers as Peter B. Kyne and Edna Ferber. Miss Ferber sent one of her first stories to "Everybody's".

Anoth-;::r magazine gave her $200. When she sent a second to "Everybody's", Mr. Daly was again overruled and he wrote her a personal note telling her to try "The Saturday Evening Post" s She did and got $500 for it. Miss Ferber's letters of appreciation for the personal interest which 11ir a Daly took in her work remained among his proudest posses sions. A few years later, Mr. Daly> still a literary man, but already beginning to yearn for a return to music, conducted a choral number at a concert in Paderewski 1 s honor.

A prominent feature in the Eclectives is the rejection of many mineral sub stances in medicine and substituting roots and herbs, Dr. Theodore Harding lived in Minnesota near his brother, Simeon, in the early days of the territory, for six years.

VI-7-(S) (S) Joseph Harding Orvis married Mayme Pfiffner Aug, 17, 1904; she was born Dec. 3, 1880. (See sketch below of life). Children of Joseph Harding and Mayme (Pfiffner) Orvis: A) Marion Josephine Orvis born July 22, 1910; B) Eleanor Anne Orvis II Oct, 25, 1913; Joseph Harding Orvis was born on his father's farm north of Sumner, Iowa. After the death of his father., the family moved to Sumner. He was educated in Sumner Public Schools and started on his own at the age of 16 studying pharmacy. He gave this up to learn telegraphy with a brother-in-law, M. E•. Winn., who was stationed at Goldfield, IQwa in the fall of 1897. His telegraph work he started as a relief operator and agent for the B.C.R~~ N. R.R. under Supto w. P~ Ward, and F.S. Spafford, superintendent to telegraph. · After four years of relief work as an opera.tor and agent., which took him to about 45 different stations, he was made relay operator in Estherville dispatcher•s office., and after one month, was made Train Dispatcher Aug. 1, 1902, which position he held until Jan. l, 1931. He has been elected City Treasurer, serving two terms so far and handles a news correspondence service for three daily papers and two news services. When Mr. Orvis was promoted to Train Dispatcher., he was the youngest man in the ~ervice on the Rock Island, not quite 20 years of age, and when retired was fourth oldest in service on the first district, which embraced all terri tory, Chicago· .·;to Denver and Chicago to Kansas City., Sioux Falls and Minneapolis. Mr. Orvis is a Royal Arch Mason., Presbyterian Church elder and former mem ber 03E.S. and White Shrine. The era in which Mr. Orvis served in railway s ervice was replete with change. When he entered the train dispatching service the Rock Island had just taken over the B.C.R.& N. property and there were numerous floods in the terri• tory that year, 1902, the road losing 19 bridges and much track between Iowa Falls and Cedar Rapids, necessitating detouring every train moved between those points either via C.& N.W. to Marshalltown, thence C.G.We to Reinbeck or over the Iowa Central from Marshalltown to Abbott Crossing. ~Ihile these were exceedingly trying times, there was much of drama and human interest constantly taking place to lighten the burden of restoring traf fic to normal. One incident was when a large freight engine, considered too heavy for a weak bridge near Abbott Crossing, was ordered moved to Cedar Rapids at night. The engineer protested he was afraid the bridge was not safe to crossc The dispatcher working with Hr. Orvis told the operator at Iowa Falls to tellithe engineer to get off at the bridge, cross to the other side and let the fireman start the engine, get off, and the engineer catch the engine on the opposite end, which they didc Mr. Orvis was on duty the night that the Kaw River went on a rampage and Kansas City Union Depot was under 9 feet of water. The General Superintendent, H. s. Cable, at Cedar Rapids, made a frantic appeal for material to be sent to Kansas City, and Orvis had some difficulty convincing the local Division Super intendent, W. J. Lawrence, that there could be any such flood at Kansas City. The old 11Dakotan Division, as it was called., experienced a good many snow blockades and consequent tie-ups during Orvis 1 service. The worst bliz~cll'd and 79 tie-up on the Division probably since the road was built into this territory, occurred Feb •. 9, 19()9. Several feet of badly drifted snow blocked the 'main line Estherville to ---Falls two weeks before a rotary snow plow finally opened the line, and in the third week the Worthington Minnesota was opened with a double crew both for the two locomotives pU:Shing the rotary and the rotary crew, so as not to violate the newly enacted 16 hour Federal Hours of Service Act, which, as it turned out, was a wise provision, as it required 25 hours to complete the 55 mile trip with the rotary, Mayme Ffiffner,before her marriage to Joseph Harding Orvis, was a teacher in Emmetsburg, Iowa. A) Marion Josephine Orvis, is a graduate of a Kindergarten Course at Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa; she is now teaching Kindergarten at Manning, Iowa.

Philip Hastings Dewey, son of Addison Dewey, now holds the office of Secretary of Internal Affairs at Harrisburg, Pa. He is a leading member of the Patrons of Industry, having twice served as Master of the Pennsylvania State Grange of that Order. His education was received in the public schools of Gaines and Mansfield, Pa. At 18 he bought a farm of 200 acres, which he still ownso He has been an active and successful farmer, interested in forestation, having planted upwards of 20,000 pine trees on his farm. Eis methods have been adopted by his neighbors and by farmers more remote. For 25 years he was a lumberman, at Gaines, In political service and in offices of the Grange it is difficult to estirriate the value of Mr. Dewey 1 s contributions to them. He was but 30 years old when he was elected to the office of Supervisor in 1897. The following year he was elected a school director and served until 1905. He served two 120 terms as County Corrmissioner and was then honored v..d.th the presidency of the County Commissioners Association of the State of Pennsylvania. He was the first to hold office as President of the Supervisors' Asso ciation of the State of Pennsylvania. In 1921 Mr •. Dewey was sent to the State Assembly at Harrisburg.

I visited Stafford in 1935 to locate Grandfather's graveo When the cemetery in Stafford was set apart, the Lathrop family were moved to the new cemetery" I was told my Gfandfather must have been moved also~ He was not placed on the new Lathrop lot but I finally found his gravestone in the Stafford cemetery, beside the grave of a child, a Lathrop from some other family. In this day we take our dead tot he family lot so all will be together. It was not so in past years. Dolly Ann, the first wife, was buried in Albion, Mich., Grandfather in Stafford, N.

No~r. 20, 1812a 1.,Jhen 3 years old, the family moved to Sullivan, Tioga Co., Pa. . The: re w.3re 14 children in the Samuel Harding family~ ·;~nen the move to Pennsylvania was ma.de, three of the children, Joshua, Sarah and Lucy were married and did ;.1ot at that time go with the others into Pennsylvania. Joshua had settled in CQatham, Lucy in Brookfield, and Sarah also in Brook field. Later Sarah went to S·1llivan with her husband, Elijah Gaylord and two small children, Matilda Carrie and Alexander Hamilton. At the age of 19s Simeon married Dolly Ann Smith,. a daughter of one of the Smith families in S.tl.livan. Her father's name has not been learned. Simeon and Dolly Ann, after their marriage, went to Albion,.Mich~ Dolly Ann had a brother in Nic:tigan by the name of John,, As yet he has not been traced~ Si1,;ecn and I;olly Ann settled on a farm in Sheridan Township, not far from the city of Albion, And here their eight children were born and here after 16 years of married life, Dolly Ann died when the baby Sarah was but 3 weeks old, aiJd the oldest Child, Em:i.ly was but 13 ~ Dolly Ann Harding is buried in Albion. When a kindly neighbor offered to take the baw and bring her up, Simeon 156 ·reluctantly let her go. Even one less did not help the problem of the growing children. Simeon decided to marry again, and married Caroline P. Moody June 14, 1847. . This left Emily, 13, Josiah, 11, Smith, 8 and Henry, 6. Simeon sold his farm and moved into Albion, where he and Caroline took boarders for Albion Seminary. -l:· ➔~ ~- Simeon had proved his worth to the community when on Mch. 7, 1838 he had been chosen as a delegate to help organize Eaton County.

Y. and came to Michigan with his parents in 1834. His early life was mostly spent in Battle Creek and vicinity, where he shared fully the trials and privations of early pioneer life. His advantages for education were very limited but well i1Tflroved. He attended such of the rude district schools as were then available, and after attaining his majority he supplemented those advantages by attending Albion Seminary. He thus became, for his time, a fair scholar which enabled him in after life not only to conduct his business intelligently, but to instruct others as a teacher, and accurately to discharge, or meet public trusts that were committed to his care~ Mr. Phelps, in early manhood acquired a knowledge of the carpenter's and joiner's trade and in the employ of DuBois Hutchinson, one of the earliest builders in this vicinity, assisted in the erection of many of the earlier structures, buildines and bridges in Battle Creek and vicinitya In the employ of John Champion and ~varren B. Shepard he aided in the man ufacture of the first lot of brick made and laid in·this part of the county. In 1854 he emigrated to the then new state of Minnesota, where he secured from the government 120 acres of excellerzy;land, and soon after married Emily Harding,. 157 formerly of Albion, Mich. By their joint industry, the bit of wilderness which they had chosen for a home was made to bud, blossom, and bear ripened fruit. The result of their union was a gift of four children, two sons and two daughters. Days of darkness come into most lives. Mr. Phelps was m exception to the rule; sorrow came, disease laid a heavy hand upon him; then a longing to see friends of his youth and to look upon the scenes of his early life induced him to come again to Michigan.

Simeon was left with six children, Emily, the oldest, was 13. Kindly neigh bors offered to take the two youngest, Almond, who was 3 years old and the baby, Sarah Ann, 22 days. They were adopted by these neighbors, who moved to Homer, Michigan. Even this did not solve the problem with four growing children, one 13, one 11, one 8 and one 6. In June-Simeon married Carolyn P. Moody. She proved a wonderful mother, and the grandchildren, who later knew her, could rise up and call her blessed. The farm in Michigan was sold and the family moved into Albion, where Simeon built a home and took pupils from the Seminary to board. He had bought one share in the Albion Seminary, paying for it on the payment plan. The Stock held a scholarship certificate which entitled members of the family to free tuition for 25 years. However, the family did not continue to live in Albion. The urge came to Simeon to go West and pioneer. His plan was to go to Iowa, then a Territory. On the way they would stop in Belvidere, Ill. for a visit with Simeon's sister, Rachel Orvis. Simeon's family had one more new member, baby Carolyn, born in 1850. En route Simeon met Judge Thompson, who was on his way to Minnesota. Before they reached Belvidere, Judge Thompson had persuaded Simeon to stake a claim in Minnesota, a territory also. Leaving his family in Belvidere, Simeon and Judge Thompson traveled on together to Minnesota, 1mere they staked opposite claims. lb was in rfiay, 18.54; Simeon prepared his lumber and logs for his house, but did not build then. He had to return to his family in Belvidere. Here Simeon rented a farm and for 11 months he and Henry worked it. The other two sons, Josiah and Smith were clerking in a drug store in Belvidere. Judge Thompson stayed on in Minnesota. The following Spring Judge Thompson wrote Simeon his claim had been jumped. with his ox-team Simeon drove immediately to Minnesota to rescue his claim. He sold his ox-team to make a payment on his land and paid for it $1.25 an acre, and thus he established a pre-emption claim, a claim prior to that of the man who had jumped the Harding claim. There was no Homestead Law at that time; instead, one must build on the land, improve, and live a certain time. The man who had jumped the claim had built on the land, using the materials Simeon had prepared for his own log house. It was a case for arbitration. Two men arbitrated, Simeon paid $15 to settle the jumper, Then.Simeon built his house, put a family in it to hold it, and returned to Belvidere for his goods. He and Henry, now 14 years of age, drove to Minnesota bringing the household goods, the same goods they had brought from Michigano There is a little story connected with the loading of the household goods for the overland journey from Michigan to Belvidere. At the time there seemed no room on the load for the little red cradle, the cradle in which nine Hard ing babies had been rocked. It was hard to leave it behind, it was harder still to break it up, which the father decided must be done. He could not do it. He sent one son, then another, and finally the third. The boys found it as impossible as their father had. They turned from it. None of the three 167 would be the one to destroy the cradle which had belonged to each one in turn. It was simply left behindc It may still be in existence, still used, who knows? They did not have this problem to contend with when Simeon and Henry started from Belvidere. There was a rocking-chair and a rag carpet and in the new country of Minnesota the rocking-chair was in great demand as it was the only one within miles. Dr. Theodore Harding, a brother of Simeon, who was the country doctor in the new country for 6 years, would borrow the rocking-chair for his patients. It was seldom at home. As for the rag carpet, it was the only one in that country and was a luxury. Simeon, the father, with his son Henry drove with the household goods to Minnesotao His wife, with Emily and baby Carolyn traveled by train to Galena, where they embarked by boat on the ¥ti.ssissippi River to Winona, Minn. Here Simeon met them with his team and wagon and took them to the new log house, 30 miles from Winona, West. It was to Winona Simeon traveled once a week for mail and groceries •. At Simeon's request his wife had brought two kittens on account of the many mice and gophers in the new country. On the journey, Carolyn, the wife, carried them in a cigar box. When the journey started, the kittens did not have their eyes open, their meals consisted of milk and crackers. In Winona Carolyn was offered $5 apiece for the kittens, however, she would not sello The new home, built of logs, consisted of one large room downstairs and one upo In one end of the large downstairs room a portion was curtained off for Carolyn and Simeon's bedroom. On the east side of the house very soon a lean-to with a stone fireplace was built. After that a log summer kitchen was added on the north side. On the west a frame addition was built. This frame addition proved to be a comnu.nity centere One winter the first school in the township was held here. It was also used for the first Church services and the first elections. In the log house Carolyn had covered the logs with curtain calico, and the ceiling with unbleached sheeting. The logs were completely covered, and visitors would say with surprise 11 1 thought this was a log house". Cln the wall of the log living-room hung a map of the United States and the Declaration of Independence. Josiah and Smith had found work in a drug store in Rochester, Einn. so the family were together often over Sunday. "\'linen Smith was at horr!e, and it was time to draw a pail of water, he would look at the Declaration of Independence and soberly begin "vJhen in the course of human events", then hurriedly said "it is time to get a pail of water", and out he would go to the well to draw it" One winter Simeon kept 19 cows for a man who had driven them from Wis~ cons in to s ell and could not sell them as the prairie fires had destroyed all the hay. Simeon had a big log barn and in this barn he kept the cows. On his weekly trip to Winona he learned the Winona Hotel was short of milk~ The hotel proprietor and Simon figured out a way to cover this shortage~ Simeon bought dozens of 10-quart pans,.took them home, and when the cows were milked, strained the milk into these pans and put them on racks in the sununer kitchen where the milk would freeze. Once a week he packed a large chest and several barrels with these pans of frozen milk and took them to the hotel in Winona when he drove in for his weekly shopping and mail •.. On reaching the hotel the pans were put on the kitchen stove to loosen the ice so the frozen milk would slip out, He repacked his empty pans into the chest and barrels and took them home to fill and freeze again. 168 When the first stages west from Winona needed a relay station, Simeon 1 s house again proved a community center. One driver and four horses stayed at Simeon's, The stage drivers made a special pet of little Carrieo Ed Priest especially was very friendly to the little girl. He would ask Carrie to sing for him, and he would fill her pockets in her little gingham apron with pennies. Simeon Harding, Jr~, the youngest child of the family, was the first white mild born in Olmstead County. He was born Dec. 24, 1855. Candles had been in vogue during these early days in Minnesota, Smith Harding brought from Rochester, where he was working, the first kerosene lan:p used in the log house and with it a big bottle of kerosenea Mother Harding was very much pleased with her present. Simeon's house was a tavern for traveler~ wh~ · could not make Rochester, 20 miles away, Sometimes there were 30 in the home at one time. The first wedding of the family was when Emily married Chester Phelps, Dec. 24., 1855., On account of the new baby, Simeon, born that day, Emily and Chester were married at Judge Thompson's, across the way, but the wedding supper was held in the log living-room. The new baby behaved very well, the guests did not even know of its arrival. In 1862 the family left the log house and moved into St. Charles. That same year Simeon was elected Justice of the Peace. Minnesota was a territory until May ll, 1858. The Constitution was drawn up in Saint Paul in 1857 and Simeon was a delegate to this Constitlt.ional Convention and Congress passed the Enabling Act so the State could be formed, It was President Buchanan who proclaimed Minnesota a State. Simeon was Post master of Ste Charles for 6 years, 1865-71 and gave up the Post Office when he and Carolyn started on the trip east from which Simeon did not returnt He died in Stafford, N. Y. and there he is buried~ XIV. Josiah Harding, son of Samuel and Love (Mayhew) Harding, was born July 25, 1814; married Eliza Proven in 1838; she was born Apr~ 22, 1820; Josiah died Aug, 26, 1891; Eliza died Feb. 10, 1895. Josiah Harding before the Civil War was Inspector General of Pennsylvania State :Militia. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was the first volunteer in Pennsylvania. The Archives at Harrisburg bear this out. He recruited and trained 600 men and was given a commission of Major General. His troops were stationed at Troy, Pa~ In an old History of Tioga County, Pa. the story goes: General Harding went to Harrisburg to see why the troops were not moved from Troy. He had occasion to step off the train and was seized by three men and kept prisoner for three dayso He had on his full uniform of General, but was taken for a spy and was only released after word came from Troy. He returned home to wife and family to say good-by. His home was at Libertya On his return to Troy Nonday morning, he found his troops boarding the train, the result of a telegram "Send on the troops". He was "Uncle Si11 to all who knew him, a gunsmith, and worked at his trade until a short time before his death, when he lost his eyesight. 169 Children of Josiah and Eliza (Proven) Harding: 1.
